trying to be less blah

I think I'm going to be blogging the kiss or kill nights more than I have been lately. I've been a bit blah about it though I still attend nearly every Wednesday which isn't how one who views himself as a longtime (2003/04) supporter should act. In reality it's changed, I've changed and were both trying to figure ourselves out these days.

So as everyone was living it up at sxsw last week I did Kiss or Kill with a bunch of nice strangers and literally a handful of old school regulars. After catching the tail end of the first band the group of us talked about how soulless the night was; just some bands, with some people, at some someplace. And I would say that the whole night was equally blah for me except for the second band Automatic Music Explosion who brought the hand clapping, audience sign taunting rock. Just whole bunch of fun in the classic kiss or kill vein that made me smile enough to start the fuck yeah chant, i.e. the KorK audience seal of approval. Still means something even if there was just a few folk saying it.

Tonight Safari Sam's is pushing IAMX onto tonight's lineup, who you might know better as Chris Corner, the lead singer of the Sneaker Pimps from way back when.

The Mulhollands will be working the last shows of their residency after the UK band The Screening pick up after what I heard was a good showcase at SXSW.
Oh it's 10 bucks unless you made the $6 rsvp KorK list already. Might be sold out. not sure.

I might suggest for this Saturday:

KSCR / Kiss or Kill presents @ Ground Zero Cafe - USC Campus

8:15pm - 8:45 pm - Get Set Go, 9:00 pm - 9:30 pm - Underwater City People, 9:45 pm - 10:15 pm - Silver Needle, 10:30 pm - 11:00 pm - Bang Sugar Bang, 11:15pm - 11:45 pm - The Waking Hours

    "just some bands, with some people, at some some place."

I had a flat this Friday, not that big of a deal normally, except I managed to snap the stem as I was removing a lug nut. Wonderful. More money that I don't have. I'm getting sick of tires, my numerous flats, gas prices, traffic. If I wasn't getting such a good price on rent I would move closer, but why pay what I'm currently paying for far less space in a worse neighborhood? Even with the gas savings I would nearly be at the same spot I am now. We'll see if Just Tires can fix my problem and/or hopefully replace it under the service plan I paid for. Good chance the obscene amount of miles I've put on my might have over shot the plan limitations, which will force me to pay out of pocket. Grr. I have 99,700 miles on my car as of last night. That means I'm doing @ 25-30,000 miles a year. Yikes! Oh I'm sick again, spending the weekend sleeping, not getting my tire fixed, and writing stuff for the other blog. Sometimes I wish no one knew about this one then...

A couple weeks ago I was sitting on a hallway bench staring at the wall. Friends were on their way and the Honey Pot stopped by to chat for a few minutes wasting time until her equipment showed up. As she got up to wander around again, a boy and girl seated along the bar made introductions to her. Listening (not minding my own business) I remained seated on the bench studying a mosaic of a bullfighter in the midst of battle, sipping my Newcastle. I smiled to strangers passing through to use the bathrooms around the corner. I was bored out of my mind. I wondered if my thoughts were being read and felt that tingle of someone watching me. I rubbed the upper lip in preparation, then looked around my little area for the source of my paranoia and probably by chance the girl and I made direct eye contact. Brief awkward acknowledgments with matching half smiles faded slower than our gazes turned from each other. She reminded me of Whiskey Girl in looks and age which threw me off a bit when I...
